The story of the Three Wise Men in the Bible is often depicted as occurring on the night of Christ’s birth in the town of Bethlehem. In fact, traditional manger scenes include the Three Wise Men on the night of Christ’s birth alongside the animals of the barn and his father Joseph and mother Mary. In reality, many biblical scholars admit this depiction is a matter of convenience, and that the Wise Men actually visited Christ and his mother alone in a home some time after his birth.

On the obverse of the 2017 2 oz Silver The Wise Men Biblical Series coin is the image of Queen Elizabeth II. For this coin series, the Scottsdale Mint has chosen the image of Her Majesty used from 1984 to 1997. This third-generation effigy was created by Raphael Maklouf and captures Queen Elizabeth II in her coronation crown with features that capture her physical appearance in a timeless and regal pose.

The reverse of all Silver The Wise Men Biblical Coins features the scene depicted in the Bible as the Three Wise Men travel to visit the newborn “king of the Jews.” Known alternatively as the Magi, these three individuals are known as foreign dignitaries traveling across the desert to greet the newborn king with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
